IT WAS at a Home for little girls and an evangelist was invited to come and speak to them of the Saviour. A number of meetings were held and there was great blessing. Many of the girls pressed faith in the Lord Jesus, and their changed lives spoke of the reality of their conversion to Christ.
One little girl, whose face was like a sunbeam, was asked two years later if she was saved. “Oh yes,” she said at once, “I am.” “But tell me,” said her friend, “How do you know you are saved?” “Because I am so happy,” she replied. “Are you saved because you are happy?” questioned her friend again. “Oh no,” she answered, “I am so happy because Jesus saved me.”
Another little girl, named Lucy, said, “Life seems so different since I trusted Jesus as my Saviour. I used to disobey, but now I like to obey.”
“There is a great change in the Home now,” said another little girl named Grace. “We speak nicer to each other and act nicer. A bad temper is one of my problems, but there will be no tempers in heaven.”
Still another little girl, Frances, said: “I used to get upset and angry when I could not do my lessons, now I ask Jesus to help me and He does. When I have a difficulty I ask Him to help me and it passes away.”
Jesus wants me to be loving,
And kind to all I see;
Showing how pleasant and happy
His little ones can be.
